Everyone knows the rules of friendship, right?

Rule #1: Don’t kiss your best friend.
Rule #2: Don’t have sex with your best friend.
Rule #3: Don’t pretend like it didn’t happen the next day.

Bailey Renshaw is my best friend.

Kind. Sweet as a peach, and so beautiful it should be a crime.

Since we were kids I’ve wanted her, and one time when we were nothing more than teenagers I kissed her. It was the first mistake I ever made in our friendship. Giving her my heart and hoping she felt the same were my second and third.

That night she broke me, ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped on it. Anyone else would’ve hated her for it, but it only made me value her more, and realize that I would do anything I could to keep her in my life even if it was only as a friend and nothing more.

As a permanent resident of the friend zone, I promised myself that I would never cross that line again no matter how badly I wanted to, and I wanted to, badly.

Every time she smiled at me, licked her pink lips, or flashed her doe eyes my way I came a little closer to breaking the rules again… but I didn’t. I couldn’t do that to us. Until one night when we decided to break the rules together.

One Earth shattering night together and I knew nothing would ever be the same.

Friends, or lovers? I don’t know what we are anymore. The rules no longer apply to us.

Now the only question is, can we fix what we had before it’s too late or is our friendship over for good? And all because of one single kiss?

**Complete standalone with a happily ever after. Don't miss out on all the gooey goodness this book has to offer.**

    J.L. Beck

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    J.L. Beck writes steamy romance that’s unapologetic.

    Her heroes are alphas who take what they want, and are willing to do anything for the woman they love.

    She loves writing about darkness, passion, suspense, and of course steam.

    Leaving her readers gasping, and asking what the hell just happened is only one of her many tricks.

    Her books range from grey, too dark but always end with a happily ever after.

    Inside the pages of her books you'll always find one of your favorite tropes.

    She started her writing career in the summer of 2014 and hasn’t stopped since. She lives in Wisconsin and is a mom to two, a wife, and likes to act as a literary agent part time.

What a wonderfully well-written story with fascinating characters that are broken and hurting. A second chance at live story that overcomes the lies and misunderstandings in life. When you think you have uncovered the truth and find out more. This story touches the heart and makes you root for their love and make you feel you know these characters. I absolutely loved the story.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I really enjoyed Bailey and Elijah. Elijah grew up with the wrong kind of support from his dad and struggled with relationships with women as a whole. Bailey is Eli best friend and friend zoned him in high school. She wanted more, he wanted more, but neither wanted to possibly ruin the friendship.
It was a solid storyline with strong character development with supporting characters you hope her their own story!

**** I got this book in exchange for an honest review. ****

The idea that sleeping with your best friend won’t change the friendship is crazy. Six changes everything once you become lovers and that’s what these two did. They went from just being beat friends to being best friends and lovers and boy were they passionate. You could tell that Bailey and Elijah loved each other the whole time.

I loved these characters and I didnt want the book to end . I went through all the emotions they did. It was a rollercoaster of them and it was beautiful. I loved every minute of it.

The ending was suprising to say the east. I want expecting that to happen but I was happy with it.

So will they keep the friendship ? Or will this all end it disaster? Find out by preordering a copy.

Although the story wasn’t terrible it definitely wasn’t exciting. The story felt very basic with little development of the characters and their stories. I didn’t feel a deep connection to any character, or their past. If anything Bailey and Elijah came across immature and weak. Both characters were too afraid to communicate properly like adults, acted rashly and had senseless fears.

Enjoyable read, was very realistic. Had you rooting for them throughout the whole book.

(Best) Friends to lovers romance is one of my favorite romance tropes. I just love the idea of someone who really knows you and how that friendship can evolve in love.

Bailey and Elijah grew up together and secretly loved eachother for years. Both of them had their reasons for holding back, but Bailey decides to give in to the temptation of her best friend for one night, no strings attached. But it throws these best friends in an emotional rollercoaster they weren't prepared for. Add in some drama, fun & steamy moments and I fell in love with these characters. This story is sweet and highly recommended by me!

I really enjoy friends to lovers romance, so I expected to like Kissing & Telling by Jenna Reed. I didn't like it, I LOVED it!!

It's the story of Bailey and Elijah, best friends since kindergarten. That is until Bailey decides to go big on her 21st birthday. Elijah, a big time player, can't believe his luck but is so afraid of ruining their friendship. I absolutely loved these two characters. Elijah is so dirty talking and swoony, it's hard not for him to become a BBF.

This book has the perfect mix of angst, hot and steamy sexy times and witty banter. I highly recommend this book if friends to lovers is your jam!

Bayley y Elijah llevan siendo amigos desde pequeños. En la adolescencia, Elijah intentó dar un paso adelante en su relación y besa a Bayley. Ella lo rechaza porque no quiere poner en riesgo su amistad. Él, abandonado por su madre y rechazado por la chica de sus sueños, se convierte en un hombre que cambia de mujer cada noche.
Y ahora que son adultos y él parece que tiene medio aceptado su destino, es Bayley quien quiere cambiar las cosas.
Un tira y afloja, donde lo único que tienes claro desde el principio es que estos 2 personajes se quieren, pero podrán hacerlo funcionar?
